Hillary Clinton cites possible assassination as reason to stay in Dem Race.

Senator Clinton was speaking in South Dakota when she addressed the issue of continuing her campaign.
She noted that her husband, Bill Clinton, did not become the presumptive nominee until June, 1992 and…
“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”
Senator Clinton’s campaign insists that the comment was intended to illustrate how past races have gone on until the summer, but it was, at best, a very poor choice of example.
And, of course, in the past, states did not all hold their primaries (rightly or wrongly) in the first few months of the election year.
